Good for you!
You are right, no one should have to listen to that.
Hoping the parents take this as a learning lesson and don't subject their next caregiver to the same thing.
Sadly there are way too many providers that don't, won't or can't terminate a family, even when they know its best for all involved.
Here's to a SUPER quiet Monday!
